Civil procedure — Motions judge granting order permanently staying counter-application filed by applicants on grounds that it had no reasonable prospect of success — Whether Court of Appeal erred in holding that motions’ judge had made no error?
In 2009, the Attorney General of Ontario filed an application brought under the Civil Remedies Act, 2001, S.O. 2001, c. 28 seeking the forfeiture of some of the applicants’ property as proceeds or instruments of crime. The property in question had been seized by police in connection with an investigation of an alleged illegal drug distribution operation.
In response, the applicants filed a counter-application against the Attorney General and the Toronto Police Services Board (TPSB). Among the remedies sought by the applicants was an order quashing the Attorney General’s application and an order granting the applicants’ $4 billion dollars in compensation.
The Attorney General of Ontario and the TPSB filed motions pursuant to Rule 21 of the Rules of Civil Procedure, R.R.O. 1990, Reg. 194 for an order staying or dismissing the counter-application on the grounds that it is frivolous, vexatious or otherwise an abuse of the process of the court.
